number 50 for the rogue one crew!! knowing full well that i have a prompt of yours regarding that very crew wallowing away in my inbox .... humblest apologies
50. the hands of fate (from this list) a quick sequel to this. cross-posted to ao3 here happy more joy day 2024 🩵🤍💙
Baze spent a good twenty years of his life listening to Chirrut tell him that they couldn't leave Jedha, whenever the subject arose. Baze's arguments—that their fellow Guardians were gone, that their religion had been all but wiped out, that their holy city was overrun by the Empire, and that there was nothing left for them there—had never made much of an impression. Chirrut remained adamant that they needed to stay and when Baze asked him why, he only said the reason would become apparent in time. Baze, at least, had a lifetime of experience listening to Chirrut's vague proclamations to prevent him from getting too annoyed with this non-explanation. Being more in-tune with the machinations of the Force than Baze is, and being deeply beloved by him regardless, Chirrut can get away with such things.
He'd almost shouted at him on the ship as they narrowly escaped the destruction on Jedha. Had that been why they needed to remain? So they could watch their home, already stripped of its autonomy and its peace for so long, finally be annihilated before their very eyes? His eyes. Chirrut does not—cannot—watch. He hadn't been sure who, of the two of them, was the luckier in that moment. But they hadn't been alone then. They were surrounded by strangers and, while he wasn't above giving Chirrut a piece of his mind with an audience present, he hesitated to give these people on whom their lives now depended the impression they'd picked up two raving mad men in the desert. After that, everything else had happened too quickly for Baze to have the luxury of deep contemplation and the matter had been pushed aside in favor of following the captain, of helping Jyn, of keeping an eye on their pilot. Arguing with Chirrut would have to wait.
Baze is ashamed to say he doesn't put it together on Scarif, not even when they'd all nearly died. He doesn't put it together when they're back with the Rebellion, keeping vigil in the medbay as, one by one, their crew—Rogue One, Bodhi had called it—healed up and moved on. He doesn't put it together even as he watches with mild amusement as Jyn and Cassian grow closer and closer like two trees twisting around each other in the wild, becoming inseparable as he and Chirrut did long ago. He doesn't put it together when what he once thought of as a natural tremor disappears entirely from Bodhi's voice, replaced with a tone of gentle command, or when the frost melts entirely from Jyn's demeanor when she interacts with her partner's droid and he is so entirely shocked when that same droid delicately—delicately!—inquires about Jyn's bloodwork halfway through her pregnancy and listens sympathetically as she rants about the medical droids the Rebellion employs that he can be forgiven for not noticing it then either.
No, he only puts it together when he's sitting with Kitri in his lap and she wraps her whole fist around his pointer finger and refuses to let go. It's a random, seemingly insignificant moment for his heart to stop and the whole of his life to suddenly come into sharp and coherent focus, but he assumes no one really gets to choose these things or their timing for themselves.
Next to him, Chirrut makes an inquisitive noise, which probably means Baze stopped right in the middle of speaking.
"This is why we couldn't leave Jedha," Baze says, impressed that he's managing any words at all right now amidst what could most reasonably be called a life-changing revelation. "This is what we were waiting for, all that time. Them."
"Of course," Chirrut says, wiggling his fingers within capturing distance for the baby, much to her amusement, not seeming to understand or appreciate that Baze is going through something at the moment. "You mean to tell me you didn't know that?"
"You're telling me you did?"
"Not beforehand. I'm not psychic," Chirrut says, as if such a thing is entirely ludicrous to believe. As if that's not how it sometimes feels to Baze when Chirrut describes the way the Force moves around them all. "But the moment I spoke to Jyn, I knew. That's why we followed her and the captain! What did you think I was up to, if you didn't know until now?"
"I thought it was one of your strange whims, Chirrut."
"It's been years, you daft old man," Chirrut laughs.
"Yes, well..."
Chirrut shakes his head, amused. "You really will follow me anywhere, won't you?"
"Yes," Baze says, only vaguely embarrassed by the admission. "Don't act surprised."
Kit makes a noise of objection from her spot in his lap, the smallest foreshadow of an all-out cry, probably because she hasn’t successfully captured Chirrut’s hand with her own yet in this simple but frustrating game he’s initiated. Across the room, Baze sees Cassian, who has dark circles under his eyes again after many years of looking healthier and better rested (though these ones have appeared under happier circumstances), start to rise from his seat, ever watchful over his daughter’s moods and needs. Before he can get far, Baze sees Jyn put a hand gently on his forearm to arrest him and an entirely silent conversation happens between them in the brief eye contact that follows. He feels like he can read all of the beats of an argument and a counter argument and a surrender in the smallest lifting of eyebrows and lowering of lashes.
“We have help,” Jyn says, softly but firmly, as if they’ve spoken all of their concerns out loud so far.
“I know,” Cassian replies, and settles back in next to her. He briefly closes his eyes and rests his head on the back of his seat. Jyn doesn’t take her hand off his arm until he moves it to rest around her shoulders a moment later. Looking over to Baze, Cassian adds, “If you need me to take her, though—”
In the very same moment that Jyn reaches out to swat him for that, Kit screeches with laughter, having finally captured her other uncle’s hand and covered it in an unfathomable amount of drool in an incredibly short amount of time, and diverting Baze’s attention from her parents at last. Next to him, Chirrut smiles with a dangerous amount of pride.
“The Force moves delightedly around this one,” he says, surrendering to this injustice with good sportsmanship as always. “She would have made an excellent Guardian.”
Before the pain of that pronouncement can hit him, Baze hears Jyn speak up. “Good thing we picked up a couple of them in our travels back in the day,” she says, turning to Cassian. “Smart of us, wasn’t it?”
Cassian nods, not so successfully hiding a smile. “Wouldn’t want her squandering any of her potential,” he says. “You’ll have to keep an eye on this connection to the Force, Chirrut. Let us know if she needs any training…”
Chirrut lifts his head at that, looking like a hunting animal picking up a scent. The idea of it hadn’t occurred to him either, then, which makes Baze feel less stupid for not thinking of it himself. He’d grown so accustomed to think of the Guardians as gone and dead, like Jedha was, or at the very least nearly extinct. Kitri’s far too young to have the survival of an entire religion on her shoulders, but he and Chirrut can tell her the names of their teachers and elders and friends and their stories will survive for another generation. There are other children of the Rebellion, too. Their way of life need not die with them. It’s a heady, baffling new feeling, this untempered hope. They’ve been rationing it out carefully among them for years and to have his fill of it all at once is slightly overwhelming.
Chirrut’s expression would be closed off to anyone who hasn’t known him for fifty years, but Baze sees through its defenses quite easily. He sees the surprise and the awe and the barely guarded delight all there plainly. Chirrut turns his attention down to Kit, still chewing on his hand happily, and runs a palm over the sparse but silken hair on her head lovingly, and something heavy and ancient slots into place in Baze’s soul, the final piece of a long forgotten puzzle settling in where it belongs.
“Good to see there are some things in the galaxy that can still surprise you, old man,” Baze says, not sounding nearly as irreverent as he wishes to.
Kit laughs in the same moment Chirrut does, like she’s in on the joke somehow, like she’s been waiting for it. And who knows? Maybe she is. Maybe she has.

Please tell us more about “high on a hill lived a lonely assassin” which sounds like exactly the sort of title I would unironically be intrigued by in a short story
Phil, I am SO sorry to tell you that you do in fact already know what this WIP is: I am legally obliged to have one (1) unhinged AU going at all times, so this is the Sam/Bucky Sound of Music AU.
The document is mostly bullet points but includes such hits as "HE COULD STILL KEEP GOATS" and "four Barnes sisters plus Alpine" and its latest addition, "FOGGY IS MAX NO FURTHER QUESTIONS YOUR HONOR"
I leave you all with the mental image of Sam with a guitar singing to a gaggle of children and a cat; I yield my time to the chair.

at last : Chapter 1 by @philtstone
Summary: "Wasn’t the whole point of this that Sarah told you over a year ago she wanted to get married?" says Sam.
Or, Bucky finally proposes. Well -- he's planning on it, anyway. He's just gotta field all these phonecalls first.
* * * * * * * * * *
Bucky is trying, bless him, to get this ring thing right. And a lot of people somehow seem to know of his dilemma.

Seven Sentence Sunday
No one tagged me, I'm just vibing with Soften Every Edge right now and trying to motivate myself to finish chapter 2!
Claire woke to a still-dark morning with the weight of Jamie’s arm around her, his face resting so close to her own. She could tell by his breathing that he was already awake. “Time’sit?” she croaked, and tucked her head against his chest. 
His chin came to rest atop her head. “Half past six, if I had to guess.” It was the time Jamie usually rose and faced the day. She sighed and burrowed closer to him — and felt him press a kiss to her hair. “Not going anywhere just yet,” he said with a sigh that suggested he needed this moment cocooned in their bed just as much as she did. “‘Tis only the animals that need tending to today, and Fergus and I can manage that later.”

Some crazy Ponniyin Selvan prompts
• Poonkuzhali joins Pandya Aabathudavigal.
Some time ago, some people from the Pandya country came here. They wanted me to help them wreak vengeance on the royal family which had betrayed my aunt. It was then that I heard my aunt's story. My blood began to boil and I decided to join them. Later, I came to know how my aunt felt about all this. . . . Then I abandoned the idea of joining hands with the Pandya group. As you said my aunt's love is really divine. But mark my words, I won't be like her. If any Prince tries to deceive me I'll take revenge. I'll kill him. I'll also kill the woman who steals him from me. Then I'll stab myself and die.
• Vanathi joins Buddha monastery for real.
Vanathi went on: "Yes! I've decided to become a Buddhist sanyasini. Why do you object to that? Weren't there many women in ancient Tamil Nadu who became ascetics? Did not Madhavi's daughter, Manimekalail, become an ascetic and attain divinity and don't we praise her now as the Goddess Manimekalai? I have no such aspirations. I tried to end my useless life, but failed in the attempt. Perhaps it is God's wish that I live a little longer. I want to join a Buddhist monastery and spend my time serving people. You won't refuse to help me, will you?"
• Chinna Pazhuvettaraiyar Kalanthaka Kandar adopts Vanthiyathevan.
Let's wait, he thought, until my older brother returns. We can find out about him then and do whatever is best. A warrior like him should be inducted into our private bodyguard. Even a portion of his ancestral kingdom could be given back to him. Helping boys like this will bind them to us and ensure their loyalty. But if he's proved an enemy, we'll have to make other plans. Let's wait for my brother, anyway. We’ll see.
• Poonkuzhali fakes her death and runs away from the palace.
The court politics and the never ending scheming are so tiring and infuriating. She doesn't like Senthan as much as thought and Emperor Senthan is the most eligible married man in the country. She runs away, to embrace the waves once again.
• Manimegalai thinks 'ponal pogattum poda' (let it go) and starts to manage the affairs of Sambuvarayar clan when Kandan Maran is away on border patrol.
She is totally embarassed about her emotional outburst about a man who doesn't like her, that too to the woman he actually loves.
• Parthipendra Pallavan and Manimegalai decide to get married out of spite and plot the end of Vanthiyathevan and Kundavai.
Yeah, I made that up. I am crazy.
If anyone writes anything, please tag me so that my evil heart can rejoice 😏

Seven Sentence/Last Line Sunday
thank you to @flyinghome-againstthewind, @philtstone, and @freneticfloetry for the various tags over the past few days!! I haven't written anything recently but today I jotted some lines down for *checks notes* a fic in a fandom none of you are in. so. there's that. sorry?
Have a lil bit from my 911 chris pov 5+1 that i cobbled together just now from phone notes and ramblings
Dad’s new friend Buck is awesome. Even awesomer than library book earthquakes. He knows all about earthquakes (way more than his library book), and dogs, and he comes from Pennsylvania, which is not in California, but is also not in Texas, and he’s seen snow. Christopher has never seen snow before. And he has a cool car. The drive home from school takes ages, and Christopher still isn’t quite sure why Buck had to drive Dad to come pick him up, or what happened to Dad’s truck, but Buck lets Chris talk to him the whole time, Sometimes with Dad adding in something he forgot. Dad’s got a weird, kinda confused look on his face the whole time.
open tag to anyone who has a few sentences of anything they'd like to share!!

She’s been sneaking around her older brother since she was old enough to have boyfriends, and she’s not letting him get in the way of her New Year’s Kiss this year. It’s been seven long months of lingering glances and smiles between her and Bucky, flirtation that never goes past the point of plausible deniability, and Sarah is ready - has been ready - for him to make a goddamn move.

ao3 first lines tag game!
Thank you for the tag @philtstone
Rules: Share the first lines of your most recent ten fanfics and tag ten people. If you have written fewer than ten,  don’t be shy and share anyway.
Alright, here goes!
Worthy of Love and Loyalty
Porsche’s life changes on a nondescript Tuesday in February.
A Grain of Sand
The rain finally lets up, leaving the whole place muggy and wet, as much water left dangling in the air of the late evening humidity as collecting in dirty puddles on unpaved roads.
More
Kinn takes a deep breath in, holding it for a moment before releasing it quietly.
All for Us
The light dances across Porsche's back as he stretches languidly in the early morning sun, rays slipping through the blinds to slide softly along golden skin.
Etude
"Sergeant Barnes!" an altogether too smug voice calls out to Bucky.
She Waits
She finds him on one of the many balconies that wrap around the medical wing of the palace.
Mirror Image
He’s not sure when he makes the decision, really.
In The Woods Somewhere
Sarah had her first baby at 26 years old.
Devil's Gonna Set Me Free
It's fucking cold.
Resonance
Bucky startles awake, adrenaline high and breathing fast, completely ready for an attack that doesn’t come.
I'm really not sure what these lines say about me but I feel like they say something!

Tag 9 people you'd like to know better!
I was tagged by @enoughtotemptme!
Last Song: What's The Use of Feeling (Blue) from Steven Universe, sung by Patti LuPone.
Last Show: I think I was trying to army crawl through an episode of The Bachelor. I need to catch up, but I don't think I can afford to lose any more brain cells.
Currently Watching: As stated above, The Bachelor. I'm only watching because a girl I knew in high school is one of the contestants this season– she was in a play that I wrote! She played a fictionalized version of me! And now she's making out with people on TV! It's weird! – and I'm a nosy bench who loves drama. (She's still on! I have no idea how!) Aside from that, I'm watching The Last Of Us (skipping the scary bits). The Good Place, Ghosts (BBC), and Bob's Burgers are always on in the background.
Currently Reading: Ficwise, I just caught up with to get my soul known again by @staceymcgillicuddy (incredible, amazing, chef's kiss, rip my heart out), and I love rereading anything @cunnninghams writes, most recently, it was take a picture (it'll last longer) (love the good ol' suggestive polaroid trope). As for books, I just finished Daisy Jones & The Six, and I'm working on The Four Winds.
Current Obsession: The Last Of Us has really added gasoline to my thing for Pedro. Hellcheer, of course, Mitski's Laurel Hell, and Izzy Hands/Con O'Neill (if Con ever sees my blog, I will die).
Tagging: @chekovsphaser, @traditionallyforever, @sprightlyspirit, @adampage, @via-whitmore, @spaghettiwithsoysauce, @purplolart, @philtstone, and @city-bright.

last line challenge
tagged by @firstelevens and @philtstone (thanks, pals!)
rules: in a new post, share the last line you wrote and tag as many people as there are words (or as many as you feel like).
“[…] I’m with you because I love you and I take care of you because I love you and I’m not planning on leaving you for someone else because I love you and what’s more, I plan to keep on doing it for a long time, possibly forever. Okay?”
no pressure tagging my pal @flythesail since I guess that last line is really only one word… 😬

🧠 for bonky and also for d’artagnan bc ive been in a musketeers mood
🧠 Pick a character, and I'll tell you my favorite headcanon for them.
Bucky: I'm a semi-recent convert to the school of "Bucky Barnes plays/played piano", which I have seen in a handful of fics and loved every time. I have strong feelings about muscle memory and the things that don't change at all even after a hundred years, and I like the idea of that being a skill that finds its way back to the surface without him fully realizing what's happening.
(You might also recall a lifetime ago when we talked about things Shuri might have had him to do calibrate the vibranium arm, like cracking eggs or lifting things, and like...I just think it might be neat if she had him hit a couple keys just to see what the dexterity and force were like and his hands knew what they were doing before he did.)
D'Artagnan, my son whom I raised myself on a small farm in Gascony: I know he's in Paris now and he's very busy Captaining a garrison and whatnot, but I like to think that he maintains a small garden wherever he and Constance make their home. Like, obviously his farm and everything are long gone, but I'm very soft about the notion that he carries that part of his history with him, and that he passes down what he knows to his children and the other assorted Muske-babies.

Another delightful chapter in the Love, Squeeze, Don’t Tease alternate universe, where magic and Titis With The Sight are…a Thing, Bucky is a shapeshifter and Sarah is “normal”.
And everybody around them sees how they’re dancing their way around each other.

Submitting for #Fandom Friday:
Star Wars - The Book of Boba Fett
On the Dome by @btwxsixesandsevens
You want a rare pair? I got a rare pair for you with this short, sweet, ficlet featuring Drash & Jo, after castin’ looks during a shootout in Freetown, and Fennec making a way for them to have a bit of alone time during the victory party.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/37194733
and
Marvel - The Falcon Captain America and The Winter Soldier / Arcane (“for the vibe and premise”—author)
hopeful by @philtstone
https://archiveofourown.org/works/36709789/chapters/91574479
This s a SarahBucky AU, but it basically centers on Sam Wilson and the aftermath of things going terribly wrong, plunging the nation into police state, and superheroes/powered individuals go into hiding.
I had never heard of Arcane, but I jumped into this dystopian world immediately after I read the brief prologue helluva kick-off that ends:
Sam pulls his arm back and throws.
Settle back and enjoy.
OOOOOH I love the concept of both of these so much. Hell yeah for victory kisses and acting on feelings when you're basking in a win. And also, as someone who LOOOOVES Arcane (it's on Netflix and I HIGHLY recommend it. Season 2 coming out this year), I think this could work so well with a Captain America type of AU. These are both such great ideas! Thanks so much for sending them in!
Participate in Fandom Friday to show your favorite creators from this week some love! :)

Last line meme
Thank you for the tag @philtstone! 💜 Here is some proof that I am working on my very neglected Soften Every Edge:
Fergus slumped into a seat. He misjudged just how fresh from the stove the porridge was and burnt his tongue on the first bite, letting out a colorful swear in the otherwise silent kitchen. A soft tsk came from behind him and Papa’s hand touched his shoulder as he walked past.  “Mind yer tongue, lad.”  He knew Papa meant his language and not the way Fergus had burned himself. Fergus stifled a retort; the word lad chafed more than the way Papa had chided him. He would be sixteen soon. He was studying for his exams and would go to university in the fall — precisely when would he be a man with the freedom to say as he pleased if not now?
No pressure tagging @theawkwardterrier @forgetmenotsassenach17 @frasers-of-my-heart and anyone else who wants to share the last line (or lines, in my case) that they wrote!
